MUTUAL FUNDS,
& STOCKS, BONDS​*

We have access to a wide range of investment products for all types of investors.  We'll help you choose the best options to suit your risk appetite and time horizon.

What's the difference?

Mutual Funds*

Mutual Funds are investments that pool your money with other investors to buy a portfolio. There are many mutual fund categories to choose from, including equity, fixed income, and balanced funds.​ These can be held on their own or in an RRSP, RESP, TFSA, RDSP, or RRIF.


A good option if:
  • You want high diversification in your portfolio and would like your assets managed by professionals
  • You want to choose your risk comfort level

Stocks*

Stocks allow you to benefit from the success of a company either through dividends or capital gains. They can be purchased through equity mutual funds or exchange traded funds via Aviso Wealth.


A good option if:
  • You want higher returns
  • You have a longer time frame
  • You can take on a higher level of risk

Bonds*

If you’re looking for more conservative investing options, bonds are likely a good option. Typically issued by federal, provincial, or municipal governments, bonds are guaranteed.


A good option if:
  • You want less risk
  • You prefer stability
  • Have a conservative investing profile
